Spybot Search and Destroy also placed lines in the the hosts file beneath thesetwo lines.

I have access to the localhost (Homepage WampServer).

I don't have access to phpMyAdmin and this is my problem.When I select phpMyAdmin from the WAMP program I get as far as the login screen.I use 'root' for the username and leave the password blank. I press go. After asecond the field is cleared and looks the same as before I typed in the password.

I have Eset Nod 32 as an antivirus, and the Windows firewall is on.

The full path to WAMP is c:\wamp64

Do you have one or more Virtual Hosts defined? I haven't set up any local websites ifthat is what you're asking.

> 127.0.0.1 localhost> ::1 localhost> Spybot Search and Destroy also placed lines in the the hosts file beneath these two lines.The hosts file has absolutely no purpose to perform url filtering. There should be only the two lines mentioned above and absolutely nothing else until you create VirtualHost.Remove all the lines added by SpyBoot and don't let this software (which is useless, if not screw up) write to the hosts file. Besides, you'd better uninstall it completely.

Do you have access to the MySQL console?Left click icon Wampmanager -> MySQL -> MySQL ConsoleWhen prompted for "Password", press the Enter key only, as there is no password.You should get something like that:

Enter password:

Type exit to quit the console.

his means that MySQL is functional.Which browser do you use?could you try with another browser and type:'http://localhost/phpmyadmin/'in the address bar.

You can change the default browser used by Wampserver.Exit Wampserver.Edit the wamp/wampmanager. conf fileand replace the line "navigator =......" with the full path to the desired browser.Like, for example:

;Path of the Browser used by Wampserver
;May be modfied with the absolute path of the browser exe file
;(Use / instead of \)
navigator ="J:/Com/Net/Firefox/firefox.exe"
